When will people learn that anything the Trumps touch will crash and burn?

One day hopefully not too distant, the last name Trump will elicit the same wretched disgust as Hitler, worldwide.

Its different though. Hitler was evil, but to some extent successful in his endeavours before they collapsed.

Trump is just a liar and swindler all the way down. Theres no begrudging respect

I imagine Albania still remember what Rich arsholes playing at power has done to their country in the recent past. Goon on em standing up to corruption.

thousands now want out

I get what they're trying to say, but "thousands" is a tiny amount for a country

Per Wikipedia:

Tens of thousands in daily protests; 100,000–200,000 at the 13 June rally; more than 250,000 estimated at the 20 June rally

And Albania has a population of 2.4 million.
